To get back to the Kingpin point, Kingpin did start out as a Spider-Man villain and was somewhat of a big deal for the Spidey comics, and remains as such to this day. However, Daredevil's rogues gallery was made up of fail (seriously, Ghostrider got his own series because the higher ups at Marvel thought the name was too cool to be wasted on a DD villain), so when Frank Miller got the title and decided to rework it he used the Kingpin as DD's main bad due to him being a credible threat (something 99% of Daredevil villains where not) and has since become an integral part of the back-story and mythology. Which is why he is now seen as mainly a Daredevil villain. And why he's part of the Daredevil family license, since the rogues gallery is part of the parent company.
The rights to Daredevil did not go back to Marvel so that Fox could keep X-Men and Fantastic Four, Fox simply failed to deliver on their end of the contract, which was to actually do something with the license. They failed to show tangible evidence of working with the license by the deadline and thus lost the rights. Marvel did however try to bargain, by offering Fox another year-long extension to the contract in exchange for the rights to Galaktus and the Silver Surfer, since they wanted to use both for the Cinematic Universe. Fox declined.
All Fox and Sony have to do to keep the rights to the Marvel Characters they have is to keep making movies with them, no matter how terrible they are. Which is why the Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men First Class, and the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot exist.
Gotta admit, never heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy till the rumors about a possible movie based on them started, and I didn't really care for them at all after that, simply deciding to see the movie due to being part of the MCU. But damn, that trailer looks so fun and awesome, I'm pretty exited.
Other MCU stuff I'm exited about:
The Netflix shows based on Daredevil, Powerman, Ironfist, and Jessica Jones.
And what Marvel will do with Blade and Ghostrider now that they have the rights to those two back.
I also want to know if Uatu is going to be part of the MCU, or if he's still seen as being part of the F4 parent license.
On the topic of SHIELD, I'm starting to lose interest in the show again, I don't even know if they're out of their latest brake (WTF is wrong with them, why do they take so many damn brakes?). Also the whole excitement about them actually using an actual Marvel character for longer than a short cameo is waning. I mean, I was never really interested in Deathlock to begin with, only having known him from Maximum Carnage, and now I think the fact he's part of the show is just completely overblown.
I mean, he isn't a big deal in the comics, but now I'm supposed to care for the show because they included a character that uses his name and has a similar origin and look to him? And the reaction and joy I get from the internet about this just smells of desperation.
"OMG guys, after 13 episodes the show actually does what it promised and uses someone we've actually heard of! And he actually does a few things! This is gonna be awesome, finally the show is good!"
